Horror Weekly News: The Queen Mary departs soon. Frankenstein inspired horror movie Birth/Rebirth Trailer is here.



 The RMS Queen Mary may have been a retired ocean liner but has long since been the subject of ghost stories. 


The Queen Mary is known as one of the most haunted places in America since that is where it has been docked. Over the years, people who have visited the ship that not stands as a tourist attraction, have claimed to see ghosts of people who have passed away. Some of them claim to hear whistling, squeals and laughter in the shafts while others thought they smelled cigars and perfume. 


The Queen Mary has many haunted tales and so it comes as no surprise that it is now an inspiration to a horror movie as well. 


Titled THE QUEEN MARY, the trailer reveals a couple who go on board the ship with their son Lukas. Erin and Patrick who are photographers, intend to find an interesting story aboard the ship but when Lukas goes missing, Erin realizes that the past may be connected to what is happening to her now. 


We do see Lukas go down a shaft but does he accidentally hang himself or is a ghost responsible? The trailer reveals people and ghosts from the past, seeping into the present day. 


Will Erin find her son or is he lost forever? 


The movie stars Alice Eve, Lenny Rush, and Joel Fry. 

Directed by Gary Shore who is also the writer along with Tom Vaughan, THE QUEEN MARY will release on August 18th.

Desperate for answers, Celie waits by Rose’s appartment and when she refuses to answer her, barges into her apartment and receives the shock of her life. 


Lila is on the bed, attached to monitors. Is she alive?

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
